This unexpected intruder made the entire conference room look at this person in a strange way.

"Charlotte Scholar, why is he here?" Viscount Killford and the Baron of York know this person, because this person named Charlotte is a famous local scholar, and the relationship between the two families is not bad, but this meeting is even the highest local military and political chief who runs errands, how did this scholar, who is not even a noble, come in, is it really the same as the rumors, Charlotte's ancestors have been sages, and they have a relationship with Elfaro ** division.

Yes, this man's full name is Charlotte, Book of Sages, White, which means that this is still Xiao Shu's crazy cousin.

Sure enough, His Excellency the Great Magician spoke, "I called him, Charlotte is a scholar specializing in marine life, and I think he may be able to help us a little." "With His Excellency the Great Magician's words, everyone naturally won't have any opinions.

"First of all, let's ask Miss Nami to tell us about the strength of Storm Naga and the Fishmen." Lange said.

"We don't know exactly how many people Storm Naga will send, but as the largest city in the West Sea, the city of the Fish-Man is presumably the identity of the messenger sent by Storm Naga should not be small. Therefore, it is very likely that the Storm Naga clan will send an eleventh-order powerhouse, as for the tenth-order powerhouse, it is estimated that there will be two or three, and as for the number of other Naga, it is estimated that there are between three and fifty people, but all of them are silver-level strength, which is the most worrying. Nami said.

"The strength of the Storm Naga Clan is really not to be underestimated, but the strength of our here is already comparable to the strength of the Storm Naga Clan, plus the support of other people who have arrived, I am afraid that this battle against Naga will not be beneficial." A. Lange & Söhne analyzes.

"I want to remind you that this is only the power of the Storm Naga, and the power of the fish people is not yet counted." Nami said.

Bishop Blamin seemed to think Nami was telling a joke and laughed, "Hehe, those stupid fishmen are nothing more than cannon fodder. ”

"And what about the nearly 10 million fishmen?" Nami said quietly.

"Nearly 10 million fishmen!" Everyone was a little shocked, "Are you sure you're not kidding?" "Bolamin fundamentally distrusts these aliens, because they are all infidels, and most of them are ignorant.

"Of course, there are not so many of them who can be used as soldiers, but there are also about a million fish-man soldiers, although the strength of the fish-man soldiers is inferior, at most the strength of the fourth order, if the strength is even lower after going ashore, maybe only the strength of the third and third orders, but for the city of Preston with only tens of thousands of people, it is also a huge force." Nami explained.

Although it is not as many as tens of millions of people feel suffocated, after all, it is impossible for nearly 10 million enemies to come up with so many troops at once even with the huge griffin empire, but nearly a million enemies are not something that Preston can deal with.

Although this world has supernatural powers, it is not impossible to match the tactics of facing the sea of people, but unless the existence of a legendary magician can unleash a huge range of epic magic. Even the legendary warriors were not able to kill tens of thousands of enemies in an instant.

However, the magic above the legend has harsh conditions, and this time the enemy also has an enemy at the level of a great magician, so if His Excellency the Great Magician wants to cast a spell, I am afraid that he will not have this opportunity. Secretly contrasting the forces of all parties, everyone shook their heads a little in their hearts, but unexpectedly Nami spoke again.

"That's not all, the destruction of the city of the Fish-People this time is likely to cause hatred among the sea races towards humans, and the Naga will also recruit nearby sea tribes to fight, so we will face more and stronger enemies. As far as I know, there is a large ocean tribe and three medium-sized ocean tribes nearby, and these four forces are likely to participate in the war. Nami said again.

After speaking, everyone was silent for a while, and many people had already given up Preston in their hearts, after all, the strength of the two sides in this battle was a little too different.

"I think we might as well retreat to Port Naville, which is the headquarters of the Second Fleet, and by land, the troops of the Province of Seth can also support it, and there are more soldiers in Port Naville." Bishop Bolamin said that he is the spokesman of God, and he is not afraid of His Excellency the Great Magician, but behind him is the entire Church of Light, and of course he will not offend this top powerhouse.

However, he hated these atheists in his heart, and even though the magicians in the empire worshipped the mother of Asha, he actually knew that these magicians were atheists in nature. And this time the enemy is too strong, there is no need for him to sacrifice for these people, even if it is Her Royal Highness the princess of the empire.

Of course, he can't say this, but it's okay to retreat to Neville Harbor, which is not only his lair, but also an island city like Preston is mainly controlled by nobles, and many people don't believe in the Dragon of Light and believe in any sea god, which has never been an area controlled by the Church of Light, so it doesn't matter if he abandons it.

Many others nodded slightly in agreement, but they didn't dare to speak, because this battle was decided by His Excellency the Great Magician, and Her Royal Highness the Little Princess is said to also hold on to Preston City, after all, this is her fiefdom, and all fiefdom officials have the responsibility of defending the territory.

"If we're gone, what will happen to the inhabitants of Preston?" The little girl, Freya, said suddenly.

"Wouldn't it be okay to let them go together." Bolamin said casually.

"I'm afraid it will be more difficult to fight in Preston, the Royal Second Fleet has been facing the harassment of the fishmen for a long time, and we also often deal with the sea races, so we know that these sea races are very difficult in the sea, and Preston is a harbor city and an island city, this water magic attack provides a good help, and it also reduces the logistical pressure on the fishmen, so I don't recommend fighting here." Of course, our Royal Navy fleet will not abandon the territory of the Empire and the subjects of the Empire, if Her Royal Highness is determined to go to war, as long as everyone here can hold back the enemy's strong men, then to deal with those fishmen who have landed, you can hand it over to our Second Fleet. In fact, these fish people are very easy to deal with, and fish people are naturally bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and if they encounter a fierce blow, they will definitely run away, so we don't have to worry too much. But the sea monsters driven by the sea races are a difficult factor, and while most of them can only move in the sea, if we are trapped in Preston, our supplies will be a problem. Arthur Langston said with a frown.

"Excuse me, my lords, maybe I have a way to deal with those fishmen and sea monsters." Charlotte, who was sitting at the end, suddenly raised her hand and said.

"What are you kidding, what so many of us can't solve, you can solve it alone, I think you can't even beat a fishman." Bishop Bolamin said with some annoyance, after all, it seemed reasonable for him to advocate retreat before, but he was interrupted or even opposed by several people one after another, he was simply laughing at Bolamin's courage, can the fish-man force not run? As a result, this time someone actually said that he could solve it at once, I'll wipe it, are you kidding? That's why Bishop Bolamin, who has always been steady, is annoyed.

"I'm not kidding, Lord Bishop, I don't think everything can be solved by fighting, maybe wisdom can solve some problems that we didn't expect." Charlotte said without fear.

"Then you tell me and listen, is there any way to deal with those fish people or sea monsters, if you can't say it or it's incorrect, it means that you are kidding us, do you want to go to the Inquisition?" Bishop Blamin is really a little angry, this guy who doesn't know where he came from actually dares to speak up, and even sarcastically mocks himself for not having an IQ, do you think that it will be fine if His Excellency the Great Magician follows it?

"This is a secret, so I must tell it to His Excellency the Grand Mage first." Charlotte said firmly.

"I ......" Bolamin was angry, but calmed down, now that His Excellency the Grand Magician is present, it may not be a wise choice if he does it himself, so Bolamin chose to leave the table angrily, "I will tell the matter to Archbishop Wood, Your Excellency the Grand Magician, and Her Royal Highness the Princess to say goodbye." ”

"Oh, the people of the Church of Light are getting more and more presumptuous." Master Alonso said suddenly, and the whole hall fell into silence, everyone knew that the festival between the Church of Light and the royal family and the magicians, and the affairs of the upper echelons were not something that they could hear, so they all became deaf and blind.

And the Grand Magician, after listening to Charlotte's secret words, finally spoke.

"This battle must be fought, Storm Naga are a group of thugs, arrogant, and will never give up, if they don't defeat their attack this time and give up Preston, then the entire coastal cities in the south of the Holy Griffin Empire will be attacked by the fishmen, and I am afraid that the entire southern frontier of the empire will be in danger. So this time, we must teach these guys at the bottom of the sea a hard lesson, so that they don't dare to deal with the empire easily. ”

"In that case, I will inform the Royal Third Fleet to allocate a part of the magic warships to assist in the defense." Arthur Langston said that the Langston family has a lot of properties and connections throughout the southern part of the empire, and this battle is also related to the interests of the Langston family, so they can't help but do their best.

As for the two merchant representatives, Bruno Ashwarn, a big businessman from the Freedom Alliance, said with some embarrassment: "I am a merchant of the Freedom Alliance, and the Storm Naga are the overlords of the sea, so I can't offend." However, for those who hate the fish-men, these people have disrupted the order of the trade routes, I will provide some support with gold coins and supplies, and I hope you will understand. ”

"Your Excellency, respect Your Royal Highness, as a citizen of the empire, I naturally have to do my best, and there are two or three hundred guards under my command, and all of them will participate in the battle this time." Kezia Bluff, a merchant from the Northlands, said boldly.

"The guards on our manor will also help defend the city." Marshall's children said.

"Thank you all for your support, and I thank you on behalf of the people of Preston." The little princess, who had been very obedient and didn't speak, finally stood up and spoke, and she didn't seem to have the strength to be rude and willful just now, so Xiao Shufang had to sigh that it was good to be born high.

The rest of the conversation is not the main point, the ordinary people of Preston are all moving to the port of Neville by warships or large sea vessels, and the fish-men must not have the idea of fighting these ships now. And those who stayed began to arm, and the goods in the dock area were taken away, but if they couldn't be transported, they were transported to the depths of the island, Preston Island is not small, but most of it is mountainous, so there is only one Preston port, and there are no other villages.
